Hello, iv just purchased some celestron skymaster 15x70 binoculars and used them for the first time tonight. I found one of the brightest stars but not sure what one it was but it had a very pink sparkly look to it. I'm wondering if I'm still out of focus as I'm adjusting them without wearing my glasses. I'm both long and short sighted so hopefully that's not an issue. I'm struggling to find good views the swirling galaxies. Can you help please?
Usually the focus on a binoculars or telescope can "take over" for the function of glasses, but if your eyesight is complex then it might be worth trying through the glasses as well, just in case. If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, the Andromeda Galaxy is up pretty high at the moment, if you look back on my channel I have a video featuring the Square of Pegasus where I explain how to find it. Either way, I would start by maybe looking at the Pleiades or Orion's Sword, and making sure that you can see those clearly and in sharp focus, then hunting for galaxies after that.
I go through a couple of different simulated binoculars. The biggest one I simulate is the 25x141 Miyauchi BR-141 Galaxy 45 binoculars, they are a bit old and heavy, modern 25x141 binoculars would be a bit lighter. The smallest one I simulate is also old, a 6x30 Zeiss binoculars. The middle ground I show is a simulation of the 15x50 Canon Image Stabilized All-Weather binoculars, they're a bit more modern as well. Hope this helps!
@@vanrajsindha9918 Yes, that's exactly it, these images are just a simulation of what the sky should look like through these binoculars. The software used for it is Stellarium.
Excellent video, thanks
Thank you very much for this video! It was very, very useful!

@@CaoimhinsContent when u use word " SIMULATE" What it means? U mean these images r not directly taken/shown from binocular?
